Preface

Fastify is a plugin-based web framework designed to be highly performant. It fosters code reuse, thereby improving your time to market.

This book is a complete guide to server-side app development in Fastify, written by the core contributors of Fastify. The book starts from the core concepts, continuing with a real-world project and even touching on more advanced topics to enable you to build highly maintainable and scalable backend applications. You’ll learn how to develop real-world RESTful applications from design to deployment, and build highly reusable components.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design, implement, deploy, and maintain an application written in Fastify, and you’ll also have the confidence you need to develop plugins and APIs in Fastify to contribute back to the Fastify and open source communities.
